Made a batch of chili con carne today. Surprise new ingredient this batch is cranberries. It creates a pleasantly light initial impression but if I didn't know cranberries were in there, I wouldn't have been able to identify the refreshing ingredient. Started with half a pork shoulder leftover and added some beef among other spices, onions and chilis (both dried and frozen out of my garden).

he’s taking on Anchor Brewing Company and their 49ers with even higher stakes: The losing brewery will pour the winning brewery’s beer in their taproom for a week by a staff clad in the champion team’s gear.

I am still putting my list together... im going to do 3 meatbbqmeatballs, (lamb beef pork) Cream cheese/flat meat rollups, 7 layer dip, rotel, hot wings.. still need to figure out a few more things. Going to have about 13 total people over, so not a big party, but 10 of them are eating machines, so need to plan accordingly.
